SHE CLAIMS RIGHT.

Wichita claims that she has secured the
location of the Burton car works, an i'm
portant eastern mandatory of freight
cars. We hope she has, for it would be a
good thing not only for our booming
neighbor, but for the state; still we are
little inclined to be skeptical on this mat
ter. Why such works should be located
so far from the materials which are con-
sumed in the manufacture of such articles
is something we cannot well understand
1t may be the magnificent bonus offered of
100000 in stock and seventy five acres of
land overbalances the other consideration
The works would employ ten or twelve
hundred men, perhaps, and would be big
thing for any town.-Emporia Globe
Has not the EAGLE told you repeatedly
that the great commercial centers are also
the manufacturing centers. Wichita is
recognized as the great commercial center
of the great southwest and the manufactor-
les will continue to come We hope the
Globe viii remember this, that we may
not have to reiterate this well known truth

Laws made to restrain the baser classes
often interfere with the better and more
energetic ones Take for instance this
story of Scotchman. one whom the
United States would be pleased to call a
citizen. Matthew Cumming, a Scotch
man, was hired to work by Kentucky
farmer, who sent him $3.50 to pay his
passage. He was to receive $35 month
besides house rent and fuel, and out of his
wages he was to pay the money advanced
by his employer. In Scotland he could
earn only $50 a year. He is now detained
at Castle Garden with his wife and two
children, until a United States court.
which does not convene until August 4th,
decides whether he shall be sent back. He
has $45 with which to pay his fare to Ken
lucky. The country has abundance of
room for such men.

When it was proposed to locate the Bur
ton car works in this city, the importance
Of an enterprise that would employ from
/, 500 to 1900 mechanics did not fail to In
terest our Board of Trade. The large
amount of cash required to be raised in this
city to insure the success of the enterprise
was thought to be vast undertaking. A
people possessed of less courage than the
business men of Wichita never would have
undertaken the task The board of trade.
however, put committee of live. energetic
men to work to raise the funds. Last
night we were informed by N. F. Neider-
lander, A. w. Oliver, Geo. Blackwelder
and VIM. Cary, belonging to the commit
tee appointed by the board of trade, that
the money subscribed and that pledged
would insure the car works to Wichita.
Mr.. Oliver, president of the board of trade,
was jubilant. "Look at that" he said and
held before our eies dispatch from 81. o.
Balch who is now in Colorado, saying,
put me down for $500" Billy Cary, who
has done some good work, was delighted,
and said, ''Boys, we got there all the same. !"
The EAGLE cannot be censured for
screaming with delight this morning when
she contemplates the success Of an enter
prise which will add ten thousand people
to our present population.
Glorious Wichitai Who in this mag
nifcent city this morning does not feel
proud that his lot has been cast among
such brave, enterprising and public spir-
tied people. Long live Wichita. Long
live her loyal SONS who never desert the
banner of the Peerless Princess when the
battle wages Steadily and surely is Wich-
tia taking her place among the great cities
of the country. Besides this $400. 900 car
works we are almost ready to announce
that Wichita has secured a great pork
packiug establishment. Wichita in the
very near future will more than ever before
be the wonder Of the age, and all over the
country men will be discussing her mar
GUS growth. They will be asking one an

1t cannot be denied that large major

to having the offices filled by members of

and forcibly when he said: From every
county; from every portion of our state
from the lakes to the river-from Indiana
TO Pennsylvania, every voice is for the re-
nomination of Foraker for Governor Of
